Wan 2.2 pricing
Open-weights video — the only roster model you can price four ways: two aggregators, GPU-time on Replicate, and self-hosting.

How these numbers were computed
- fal.ai (A14B): Operator's measured billing (FairStack operational cost audit, 2026-03-23 (price-audit-full.json)); LoRA variant billed $0.10/sec (listed match).
- RunPod Hub: $0.30 per request (RunPod Hub listing, match in FairStack operational cost audit, 2026-03-23 (price-audit-full.json)) ÷ 5 s = $0.06/sec.
- Replicate: GPU-second inference: ~90 s on an A100 at ~$0.00115/s ≈ $0.104 per 5s clip ≈ $0.021/sec. Median generation time from operator experience; pending measurement.
- Self-hosted (rented GPU): Open weights on a rented A100 (~$1.60/hr): ~45 GPU-seconds per output-second ≈ $0.02/sec, excluding setup labor and idle time.
